  4. x > 3

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 7 - 2x ≥ 1, what is the range of x?
  • Step 1: Start with the inequality 7 - 2x ≥ 1.
  • Step 2: To isolate the term with x, subtract 7 from both sides: -2x ≥ 1 - 7.
  • Step 3: Simplify the right side: -2x ≥ -6.
  • Step 4: Now, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign: x ≤ 3.
  • Inequalities – Understanding how to manipulate and solve inequalities, including reversing the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
